from my spring wagon ,hitched to a powerful
horse, which frightened and became unmau-
ageable, running ut full speed aud threw me
out against a barb wire fence. Torn, cut and
bruised to pieces and shocked I lay in an un-
conscious condition. In this cond .tion 1 was
taken by some Young men frOm the public
road to the house of the Widow Eckle, who
is tru y. and in fact. a good Samaritan, as
Was the one spoken of in the DAYS of our
blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Mr..
James Clowdsley. his wife, the father and
mother of the Widow EckIe all live together
and are truly in the Bible sense good Samari-
tans, such as our Savior spoke of in such
high terms while He was on earth, The
house of these Scriptursl Samaritans took
lie writer in; they sent for his wife and a
loctor. When my wife arrived she found
me, as she supposed, in a dying condition,
with the good Samaritans ali at work binding
up my bleeding wounds. Thank God the
world still is blessed with as good Samari-
cans as there was in the Savior's day nd.

of Adam. TIL blessed Savior when nm
